It never really occurred to me before but when Amino (Amiga Washington) was resurrected, did that make them again liable to pay Bolton Peck?
Of course not. That debt has already been passed onto Amiga Inc (add random state here). Along with Genesi's won right to have AmigaDE run on the Pegasos and whatever else Amiga Inc have lost.
Ben Hermans thinking he would outlawyer these people with "cleverly" worded contracts and settlements is the reason why Hyperion (and by extension, him) are in such debt. He doesn't seem to have realised that winning cases isn't how it works with Amiga Inc - it's all about attrition and the long game.
Mike Battilana has a much stronger relationship with Amiga Inc, and is unlikely to find himself in the firing line, because he knew the score from the beginning. Ben, Trevor, et al had to learn it the hard way. And apparently still haven't.
